Kurko Sent to the Rail After Andrieiev Spikes Two-Outer
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Kimmo Kurko opened to 100,000 from early position, leaving about 20,000 behind. Andrii Andrieiev raised enough from the blinds to put Kurko all in and Kurko called, putting himself at risk.
Kimmo Kurko: 9♠9♥ 
Andrii Andrieiev: 5♠5♣
Kurko was in great shape to double up with the bigger pocket pair until Andrieiev drilled a set on the 5♦7♦2♣ flop leaving Kurko drawing to just two outs. Kurko was unable to catch a nine when the rest of the board ran out 4♦Q♦ and was sent to the rail while Andrieiev claimed the last of his chips.
